All those package manager & repositories are confusing me.
VLC-2.01 in exprimo repo has been compiled i686 with SSE2. And it is the latest release.
Well, this laptop is 32bits, if you compile 64bits better to indicate it. still no luck for me

Code: Select all

 # vlc
VLC media player 2.0.1 Twoflower (revision 2.0.1-0-gf432547)
[0x80cd660] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[0x804e3f0] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed
[0x804e3f0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0x80cd660] [cli] lua interface: Listening on host "*console".
VLC media player 2.0.1 Twoflower
Command Line Interface initialized. Type `help' for help.
Use from the menu > document > Get Libre office ... and you get the more recent version as sfs.
Doesn't work on USB key.

If you install from the PPM using exprimo repo and typing vlc and then check dependencies ---> PPM find dependencies: qt-basic-with-webkit...and vlc-2.0.1-deps-dpup and installing them along with vlc-2.0.1 and VLC should work.

Dpup is 32 bits. There is FatDog which is 64 bit and also LHP 64. I think there isnt any other 64 bits Puppy. Also there is Iguleder`s new roar-ng which builds natively 64 bit small distro. So...if you dont build your own distro or use one of those 64 bits Puppy distros, you are at safe side.

For what it's worth, I just downloaded and installed VLC 2.0.1 and the dependencies from the Exprimo repo and it works here on the frugal install on my Athlon XP box.

I am not sure what is the fundamental cause.
'man 8 mount.cifs' shows 'netbiosname' as an option and it is accepted by that on most of puppy. But it is refused on the Dpup.

It is a mystery why the Dpup refuses the option. The 'netbiosname' need only with Windows 9x, i suppose. Anyway, i will try to modify the pnethood to be more universal.

@shinobar: netbiosservername is a valid option in Dpup. It just doesn't want to be the FIRST option.

I installed VLC 2.01 in my ubuntu Laptop and it works nice.
But I also installed Mozilla-Plugin-VLC 2.01 and it works amazing. The web interface has been completely redesigned. It loads videos quickly, it has a menu and progress bar.

I am wishing VLC 2.01 was available in .pet or .sfs so I could use that plugin to watch youtube.

Thanks. the servernetbiosname as a single (separate) option got success.
mount.cifs //192.168.11.3/mydoc /mnt/network/PUPPYPC7123/mydoc -o servernetbiosname=PUPPYPC7123 -o username=root,password=woofwoof,nounix,noserverino,iocharset=utf8
I don't know why there is difference between slacko and dpup.

Hi Shinobar

Regret to report new version doesn't work - don't think you've included the changed func_mount in this pet???

Thanks

Have you tried Geeqie ? I would like to know if it is fast enough.
OK now, the numbers on a test laptop 32bits
CPU: Celeron M 1.4Ghz (with SSE2)
RAM 512Mb
a folder with jpeg btw 5 to 7 Mb
To browse through 10 of them
Viewnor : 24,8 sec
Gthumb 2.11.5 : 24,8 sec (on Dpup crashes if edit>preferences)
Gthumb 2.10.11: 23.6 sec (under 3headed dog)
Geeqie 1.0: 19,7 sec (on Dpup)
Picasa 3.0 beta: 9sec (under 3headed dog)

Now same under WinXP with anti-virus:
Picasa 3.9: 11sec
FastStone: 10 sec
Dpup is 32 bits. There is FatDog which is 64 bit and also LHP 64. I think there isnt any other 64 bits Puppy. Also there is Iguleder`s new roar-ng which builds natively 64 bit small distro. So...if you dont build your own distro or use one of those 64 bits Puppy distros, you are at safe side.
I dont target to the old hardware. My kernel has been optimized core 2 and up.
With all respect, you seem to have a miss conception, to match your objective you should build it as at least as 64bits, see my thread http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 579#638579
No particular issues with 3headed dog, so far no luck with Dpup (also coming from compilation options?)

FYI: cvlc runs fine, Gnome Mplayer opens correctly but does NOT play files even mp3(Pmusic OK)
to come back on VLC

Hello feelsub,
Regarding issues with missing dependencies with Ppack Package Manager - Please see my reply to your previous post here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 400#638400

There is two package managers on current Expriomo:
Puppy Package Manager ( official Puppy package manager )
Ppack Package Manager ( un-official and now broken package manager )
If Ppack is broken why is it included in Exprimo? - An oversight on my part, i was unaware that Ppack is now broken so never informed Pemasu of this issue.

In the meantime i would recommend un-installing any broken / none working packages that have been installed with Ppack then re-install them through the official Puppy Package Manager so any missing dependencies are resolved.

To make sure you are using the correct Puppy Package Manager open a terminal and enter the command: ppm &

I have always meant Puppy Package Manager when I type PPM. Puppy Package Manager do have dependency checking. As stu90 previously wrote ( even before above post ), which you have have seemed to be missing.... Ppack Package Manager does not have dependency checking. It could be that I should repost what every other posters post, but that would pollute this thread.
Hi feelsub,

Puppy Package Manager has been updated somewhere along the way and from what i can tell will now dependency check puppy packages as well as host repo packages - this is something Ppack doesn't do so that is why some packages are now failing to work when installed with ppack.
I will suggest to Pemasu that Ppack be removed from his next build until i get time to review the code.
Here it is again. Puppy Package Manager ie PPM has dependency checking, Ppack Package Manager does not have. So that things will be even more easier in the next release....I will remove Ppack Package Manager as stu90 suggested.

I try to post more clearly right on, so that there isnt so much possibilites for misunderstanding.

Now, if you need to recompile VLC, I suggest the latest release and at least and i686 compile( if not with SSE2)
Here is the compile specs of the VLC-2.0.1 which is in exprimo repo (previously compiled...not new compile)....using PPM ie Puppy Package Manager:
libvlc configuration
--------------------
version : 2.0.1
system : linux
architecture : i686 mmx sse sse2

black screen upon X server restart

#636 Post by charlie6 »

Hi,
note: this is not specific to exprimo !! also encountered on Slacko and others.
here on pentium IV + video chip description:
- 2.0 VGA compatible controller
Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE :x Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
oem: Intel(r)845G/845GL/845GE/845GV Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS
product: Intel(r)845G/845GL/845GE/845GV Graphics Controller Hardware Version 0.0
what happens:
- on all exprimos (first tested was 5X14 with k2.6.39.4) (but also on slacko ans wary ...this is not specific to exprimo) black screen upon X server restart (this is common using that very Brookdale video chip)
details:
- when booting for 1st time (pfix=ram), X desktop displays OK; when setups are done (keyboard, locale, time) the user is asked to restart X; here begins the "story". The behaviour of X looks to be unpredictable, sometimes it starts OK; some other times only a few icons together with the tray bar are displayed on a black background; some other times there is only a black screen with only the mouse cursor (moving according to mouse displacements).
- I get a X desktop OK when booting on a squeezesave file (even if that file has been created after getting a "black desktop" upon pristine boot - as when doing Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace, it is asked to make a save file).
- running on a squeezesave file and doing an X restart often returns a black desktop; doing Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace and once in console mode, (only !) xwin (not xorgwizard to avoid xorg.conf rewriting ...!), sometimes works and returns the X desktop again, sometimes not,...Then the only solution is to return to console mode ( doing Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace ) and once in console mode, do reboot ... :roll:

This was already the case
during forum member 01micko's Slacko development - a long story...- He has to edit the xorgwizards script including some lines specific to the Brookdale video chip hardware.

extract from /usr/sbin/xorgwizard Slacko 5.3.1, line nr. 1497 and following

Code: Select all

...
# MHHP 110910,  If Brookdale, run /usr/sbin/BROOKDALE with whatever fixes needed #added 110918 01micko
BROOKYRUS="`lspci|grep -iE "vga"|grep -iE "Brookdale"`" #adjusted test 110924
if [ "$BROOKYRUS" ];then
#Added dialog choice #cowboy 111002 replace "systwm" w "configuration"
CHOICE="It seems you have an Intel Brookdale graphics adapter. \nThere are known issues with these. You should ensure \nthat Video Memory is set to 8 M in your computer's BIOS. \nAfter setting up X it is a good idea to install \n\"mesa\" from the Puppy Package Manager. If you choose \n\"Yes\" then a modification to your configuration will \nbe made to try to improve things. If you are not sure \nchoose \"Yes\". \nPlease Choose, you can always run \"xorgwizard\" \nlater if you have problems."
dialog --title "Brookdale enhancement" --yes-label "Yes" --no-label "No" --yesno "$CHOICE" 0 0
case $? in
0)[ -f /usr/sbin/BROOKDALE ] && . /usr/sbin/BROOKDALE ;;
*)echo ;;
esac
fi
...
This is like a "stone in the boot": it does not avoid to use exprimo (or others), I can live with it ... :wink:

Thanks considering this.
Cheers, Charlie

I apologize above irritated post. I have checked the Packages-puppy-exprimo-official database file in /root/.packages and it really misses the vlc-2.0.1-deps-dpup dependecy definition. Also Clementine missed dependencies definition for gstreamer-deps.

Here is the updated database file. It has other new uploads also included. Install the pet. Reboot or removing content from /tmp would be needed to flush PPM ie Puppy Package Manager.

In dpup history...there has been problems with PPM ie Puppy Package Manager installed applications and saving them in certain medias...after savefile creation and rebooting in some medias the installed pets have vanished.
For example usb or sd card medias may not have preserved them after savefile creation and rebooting. Shinobar has fixed that problem with his alternative petget package which can be installed overwriting existing files. Only caveout. Change the UI to be Classic before doing the overwrite installation. Shinobars petget does not support Ziggy UI. Reboot would be good or using PPM only after installing shinobars pet or removing content from /tmp so that PPM files will be flushed. I have noticed that sometimes otherwise the PPM does not start.

It is due to aufs layered saving. In dpup layered saving does not always work in all medias.
It is possible that remastering failure ie preinstalled applications by PPM usage does not preserve in remaster.

I have now woof /usr/local/petget folder. So...there is situations when the Shinobars modified petget results preserving of the installed pets after savefile creation and rebooting.

Here is the link to the latest Shinobars petget. It is dpup compliant. Many improvements in Shinobars petget has been done based on feedback in dpup threads. Shinobars petget also warns if existing files will be overwrited. It also has dependency checking for pet repos.

http://shino.pos.to/linux/puppy/petget-20120418.pet

Why I dont have it preinstalled. I had...and it is ok and good. I just wanted to see how woof generic petget stuff behaves. It has had several improvements which I like....like Mavrothals improvement to suggest which repos to search, possibility to use Ziggy UI, which I like, and woof petget always has the improvements through woof when you download latest woof.

Hi pemasu

Attached is the Slacko hacks which made it into 531. It includes the hacked xorgwizard and supporting scripts. Pull it apart and take what you need. Unfortunately though, I haven't kept a backup of the original xorgwizard at the time so can't offer a diff. As you know things in woof are very dynamic so there would be several changes since that time.

Cheers
